Hi All, Mark Kaylor, has written about "oil light flickering". I don't know if this will be helpful, but I recently tore apart a 71 dual oil pressure release case , (from my Square) for use in my 65 Notch. While I too had the "oil light flicker", mine was due to heat, age, and abuse, (by PO). I found that even though I changed the oil on a regular basis, the PO did not. And grit, dirt, (CURD) had worked it's way into and around the oil cooler control plunger, (the one nearest the flywheel, the pressure control plunger is the one near the crank pulley ). The plunger was difficult to remove, and I believe was sticking, (while the engine was running). Thus adding to the abuse the engine had already been subjected to. So to make a long story short, if you don't know the history of your engine, it might not be a bad idea the next time you change your oil to check BOTH PLUNGERS, and make sure they MOVE FREELY IN THEIR BORES. Happy Thanksgiving to All!!! Be Safe!!
